percentage reduction going to the bottom 20 percent;
Whereas the share of total income taxes paid by Americans whose income is in the 
top 1 percent will increase to nearly 40 percent as a result of the 
Working Families Tax Cuts, while the share paid by Americans in the

Whereas the Working Families Tax Cuts enacted ``no tax on tips'', which will 
provide millions of tipped workers with $32,000,000,000 of tax relief;

provide hard-working Americans with a $90,000,000,000 tax cut on their

Whereas the Working Families Tax Cuts help jump-start the American dream for 
millions of youth by making a down payment of over $15,000,000,000 in 
tax-advantaged investment accounts for American children;
Whereas the Working Families Tax Cuts permanently increase the standard 
deduction, delivering $205,000,000,000 in new tax relief to the 90 
percent of earners who claim it;
Whereas the Working Families Tax Cuts permanently expand the child tax credit, 
increasing the maximum credit amount to $2,200 per child and ensuring

adoption tax credit so that all families who adopt, regardless of
